HR-S9911U static playback shows "Use cleaning tape"
Hello,
After a few uses on my 9911, im getting "use cleaning tape" on screen and only static, no pic. I do get audio just fine. I cleaned video and audio heads just as described here in the forums, also demagnetized audio and still have static. is there a certain reset process or did something go kaput? any input is appreciated. Thanks, Bill |
Well, the onscreen messages is ridiculous -- a cleaning tape is just a amateur fix. I wonder what the actual error is. That would have been a far more useful message on screen! So now you have to try and figure out what caused it.
I would jump to any conclusions, and I've never encountered a problem with a magnetized VCR ever -- not in 20 years. I'm a skeptic when that is claim to be the problem, having seen probably 100 (or more?) VCRs in my day. |
Well i just put the next tape in and it just started to play static with perfect audio...does anyone have any pointers where to start with this kind of symptom? I wasn't doing anything different...

how did you clean? that sound like a dirty head
use 91% alcohol and chamois |
I used 99% & chamois, held it very still against head and turned head manually.
|
Did you ever solve this one? If so, how?
|
it seemed to have fixed itself, and is still working great. maybe humidity had something to do with it?
